Remarkable Race of 1913

Not one of our captain’s early sportives but a recreation of a race supposedly in Sydenham a century ago around Mayow Park by vintage cars.

As none were available an assorted collection of bikes, trikes and quikes from Wheels for Wellbeing were dressed up for a special performance in the Sydenham Arts Festival. So why is that of interest to The Anerley?

Each team had a theme including:

  • Suffragettes
  • Boy Scouts
  • The Red Menace (me!)
